I'm the wife and I'm like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don't step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.

Well, it's nice that you two found a common ground here, wife and husband. It is a bit weird you did so by communicating via Lemmy comments, but's great if this works for you. ;)

My husband isn't on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy's. And that sometimes it's the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I'm weird for it compared to other people. :)

I think Neo was just making a joke about the two of you being husband and wife and discussing the issue here instead of IRL.
